Loving your furry friends with care

Pet care experience

I’m Katalina. I’ve been helping my old roommate board dogs for a long time, and now I’m ready to do it on my own! I was inspired by how much fun it was to look after another person's pup like they were my own. Throughout my life, I’ve owned several canines as well as some other animals. I’ve volunteered with dogs when I was in high school, but haven’t had time to do it recently. I had a Yorkie and a poodle when I lived at my mother's place. Now I only have my own pooch named Luna, a Miniature Longhaired Dachshund, who lives with me in my apartment. She is four years old and is my emotional support animal. My home is a wonderful place for pups because it is located just a short walk from Grover Cleveland Park. I love that my neighborhood is so dog-friendly. People are often sitting on their front steps with their own pets or saying hello to the those who pass by. I work full-time, but my commute is just a short walk from home, so I’m able to get back quickly after work. Your pooch will never be alone because my partner is home when I’m not. She loves playing with the dogs I sit!

Lily loves staying with Katalina & Luna. I don’t have to worry when we leave Lily with her, so glad we found Katalina

Katalina was amazing! She stayed at my place and kept me updated on my dogs were doing with photos and texts and gave them all the love and cuddles and special little things they needed. Perfect!

Katalina was so great with our dog Lily. She was very attentive to her anxiety about being in a new place and was hand feeding her. Lily and Luna became fast friends, she can’t wait to stay with Katalina again!

Information Katalina G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know: -What calms them down when you are away? -What are their favorite treats? -How do they interact with other animals/dogs?

A typical day

When I meet a new dog, I bring treats with me. I like to have a good time and make sure they do too. I’ll kneel to their level to make sure they aren’t feeling threatened at first. I enjoy playing with dogs at the park by my house. I also like taking pups on walks. We’ll probably go to the parks near my home like Grover Cleveland Park or Juniper Park. I can also drive to other parks such as Cunningham Park. My favorite thing is to see dogs running around in a safe place.
